    Looks like some sort of Cranesbill (aka Perennial Geranium) but no idea which one. Great plant :)

    The leaves look a little small for alchemilla mollis. One simple test to ckeck is to drop a few drops of water on the leaves. If the water collects in small globules it is possibly a.m :scratch:

    Oh good idea shiney, :thumb: but somehow I think to be honest the more I look it is one of the Cranesbil or Hardy Geranium family... :)
